S.xLy years Of busy journalists life
Washington are cpitomized in Mai. Ben,
Perey Poore's two superb volumes. One
of the admirers OF the Major recently said
that ''at iudicious ripe period Of life the
Major stopped growing old, and since then,
like some of the choice old Madeira of which
he writes with so much feeling, he has only
been accommodating boquct and tlavOr.o Maj
POOre has been one Of the best known and
one of the most knowing men in Washing
ton society for half century. lie has the
sunny temperament delghtng in bright, So
cial intercourse. Yet his connection with
daily journalism and his position in the
u. 5. Senate placed him always in the thick
Of political affairs and social gossip He was
ever in the Washington swim, and nsve /
failed to hear ur see what was said and
done
Tie Major could never be very solemn
and in his ripened sketches Of Washington
life every phase reminds him of half a dozen
amusing anecdotes. He has rare gift III
| telling a story, and his anecdotes are mex
haustibe
His book will net only add lustre to his
fame as a writer, but is OF SO unique a char
acter and 50 intensely interesting in matter
that it will prove valuable contribution TO
the literature Of the country. It has mrth
for the mirthfnl, wit for the witty, informa
tion for all, and We doubt if it has been
equa,led by any subscription book since the

languorolH purple hour shall come twilight
and the peace Of him who liveth well; and

| have seen an abundance of fresh vegeta

banding under the wealth Of pplin and
cherry, but the frugal and far seeing farmer
had Hprtgaged the entire lot, and the stranger
had to content himself with shuttle for vel
low peas just picked from Baltimore can.
These things have made me sad. 1t seems
to me The honest granger should have nobler
aspirations than to paint his house yellow,
his Darn blue and his well box green, insert a
-four line advertisement in the Sunday papers
and steer unSuspectlng citizens against his
colned beef and malaria in the guse of health
and economy. II seems to- me somewhat I'M
reasonable for man to seek so far and fare
so hudly when he could just as well enjoy
his flies and skinned milk, his insomnia and
profanity without leaving the city.
But the fact is every man bred in a city
considers himself swndled unless he has two
weeks Of summer on farm, Just as the
farmer thinks life not worth living without

cussedneSs, like the hives, and every man gets
it. The whole pharmacopmia can furnish no
remedy, and the only relief is to 20 anu pur-
sue the wayward fancy and come home full
of suhhurn, collie and repentance.
Go to the country, You tOiers seeking for
rest, but let it be country indeed, with no
mingliOg of town. Seek your balm from sky
and field, from sea and hill, from leaf and
blossom and bird, and you will get it for the
asking Let the sun brown the cheek and
hands Of your daughters. Let your boys
scurry throuGh the tange Of woods, wild as
the chipmunk they chase. Get as far as
steam can carry you from the city and its
worry, from the crowd and its tiresome
apery; be a child of nature, worshiper Of
lazimess and surlshine--there is the sovereign
healing you seek, and You will seek it in the
gatherings of fashion in yain.--N V World.

Babyland.

AS the title suggests "Babyland" is for
the especial edification and instruction OF
those of tender years.
The publishers appeal most happily to
Juvenile tastes and the illustrations of do
mestic natural history are important ad-
juncts in familiarizing the youthful mind
with such matters as should engage its at
tention.
The July number of "Babyland' is filled
with attractions which will interest the
youngsters and it should find place in
every household blessed with children.

that they can compete with houses of larger
cities in that they obtained the contract to
make twenty five pair of pP1ts for the Pick

fact that Philadelphia houses bid for the

Tno Hood shooting Array

The incident of the shooting Of Joseph
Hood by his brother, William Hood which
occurred recently is O G of those occur
ences illustrating the perm 'ciouscess of the
indiscrminate use Of deadly weapons, as it
exists here.
Just because one brother felt himself in
.tensely apgrieved he suddenly conceives the
idea that the snly way to assuage his grief
is to use a shotgun with possible fatal effect
upon the victim of his rage.
